Tiffany Haddish Donates Suitcases To Foster Kids So They Don't Have To Pack In Garbage Bags

There's nothing better than a celebrity using their wealth and influence to improve the lives of those in need, except for maybe a celebrity who is giving back to those in the very situation they once found themselves in before their fame, fortune, and success.

That's exactly what Tiffany Hadish did!

Tiffany Haddish is a hilarious comedian and actress best known for her work in *Girl's Trip.*

Tiffany has also been open about how, at the age of 12, Tiffany and her five younger siblings were placed into foster care after facing abuse at home.

Tiffany spoke to David Letterman about how when she would be moved to a new foster home, she had to pack her belongings in a garbage bag.

Tiffany explained that doing so made her feel like all of her belongings were garbage, but it changed when she was able to get a suitcase.

"I remember when I got my first suitcase, I felt like I was a traveler, like I had a purpose, like I'm a person, like I'm not garbage, I got this," she told David.

"It's mine, and my things are in here, and wherever I go I can take this with me and I'm going somewhere," Tiffany said.

Being able to provide that feeling for children going through similar situations is why Tiffany and her charitable foundation She Ready often makes large donations of suitcases for children in foster care, alongside providing other resources.

While she has made these donations for years, in December of 2020 the donation was made for children in Northwest Indiana.

Ellis Dumas, Indiana Department of Child Services Regional Manager, spoke about Tiffany's donation.

"Often, it's hard to buy gifts for teenagers in general. So to be able to give them something that they're going to be tangibly using is always phenomenal and awesome — Miss Haddish made that possible," Dumas told the Northwest Indiana Times.

What an incredible story!
